Communication skills could mean the difference between triumph and failure in countless situations in one’s professional life.

Competent Communication at Work helps readers become effective and successful communicators via an array of channels through which they can establish their communication credibility in the workplace (written communication, presentations, speeches, interviews, and non-verbal messages). Through listening and audience analysis, the authors emphasize the importance of adaptability in creating effective and appropriate messages. In addition, the publication prepares readers for the constantly-evolving global market by explaining how globalization and technology have impacted communication in the business realm, and insight on how to successfully engage with diversity and intercultural differences.
